Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday, February 12, 2003 Goodbye Well friends, and I hope that can call most of you friends. Actually, I wish that I could I call of you friends. ..maybe someday in a more place than it cant do that. There are more loose ends than a plate of spaghetti. The first thing I am doing is going to run one more race in March. Then I am going abroad to Italy (with some innocents) and dad, that my too kind and loving wife is still my most treasured friend, that I love my kids, and that I am their most biggest, irrational fan and proud of it. I go happiness in doing the right things, and pain and suffering when I made the back to that damn doctor who just keeps on insisting wrong choices. I have found that your health cannot After that, happen. This is last column I have written 200 articles in four years and need a vacation. I am laying down my pen so I can find the time to work on the many other areas in my life that badly need attention. I guess at the end of any good story, all the loose ends are I tidied up. Because these articles were mostly about my taken be that I come see him. Maybe after that, I for a time. have learned that I found joy and 25 years ago. could my I so much. I have learned that I love my mother, that I miss my Page 20 realize a dream I had put on the shelf perfect this, life, - for granted. can have a long life with lots of stories with happy endings. I think what I will miss most is writing to you. ..my friends ...when something ridiculous happens to mo. These last few years have been the best of times and the worst of times". I have learned I have learned that sometimes bad things like cancer can bring about good things like humility and gratitude. I have learned that good things when unbridled can bring about bad. I have learned that if someone has offended you, you can't wait around for them to apologize to you, you have to forgive them and love them and move forward in life. I have learned to say I am sorry and mean it. have learned that things, I once said, cant be have offended some with my writing, some with the way I talk, the things I do, the things I dont do. ..to all of them I I un-sai- d. apologize. Ask my friends they will tell you that I am always falling flat on my face. Ask my kids, they will tell you I am not a perfect dad. I have lost my temper, spanked them when I should have hugged them, hugged them when a spanking might have helped, lectured more than either of us wanted, yelled for them and at them. But in spite of all of that, they mostly all still love me. Is that amazing or what? I play catch, eat when hungry, play all day, sleep when they are tired, and not hold grudges. I have learned so much from my kids about standing up and trying hard, playing fair, doing your best. I learned how much it hurts when people say unkind things that are not true. But more importantly, have learned that I hurt much deeper when what they say is true. But I learned something important that makes me try and be a better person. I learned that most people really do want the best want to for you. So, I go off on a few more adventures, but I doubt I will wander too much. More than likely, I will be where I am always the most comfortable, in My Cave looking out the west window at My View. have learned that we should all be more like kids and dogs.
